It's a common experssion in India and Pakistan, but not a "Hindu thing"

I made a video on the topic:


Lord krishna and Kali Maa are dark skinned...in some references even "black"
sooo, making such comments wuld be racially profiling (towards them)

This sickening term originated elsewhere, took root into Indian society.

was a Siddi military leader in the

As the newspaper noted a few months later in a case from Sind involving a “gentleman thief,” this was an old Indian mode of punishment, with the added detail that the parading was usually done with the person facing backwards on a donkey.

Informative video Neha.

Some clarification:


These verses were written by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev (Guru Arjan Dev 1563 – 1606) and not Guru Nanak
